Setting up the COOLPIX S800c Instructions for wireless setup and connectivity to a phone/tablet

The COOLPIX S800c allows you to connect directly to the Internet to share images—all without the need for a computer! Whether you have a home wireless network set up, can only access public or fee-based Wi-Fi® hotspots, or want to transfer images from the S800c to an iPhone®, iPad®, iPod touch®, or an Android™ tablet or smartphone—this COOLPIX can do it all, and more.

The S800c even allows for the downloading of apps, from music to productivity, to photography to social networking and more. So not only can you take photos and upload them to photo sharing sites, but, you can post to +™ or Facebook directly from your camera. You can also download photography apps, for creative shooting and sharing. Set up the Camera out of the Box When you first turn on the S800c, the Android OS starts up (just like a computer’s operating system would do). It then asks you if you want to set up Wi-Fi and Gmail™. The most convenient time to perform this set up is at this time. If the network you are on is password protected, have the network name and password handy.

If you want to wait before setting up this functionality—and use the COOLPIX S800c as a camera, straight out of the box, you can do that too. When you see the screen asking if you’d like to set up Wi-Fi and Gmail or skip a step, simply scroll down the screen to "Want to Set Up an Account?" and select Skip.

The reason the camera asks you if you want to set up a Gmail account or log into one you already have, is because the Google Play™ Store app uses your Gmail account for logging in and downloading apps.

To do so, simply follow the instructions for logging in or creating a new Gmail account.

After you've used the camera to take photos or video and want to set up the Wi-Fi, follow these instructions (expanded instructions can be found in the camera Owners Reference manual (can be downloaded at http://nikonimglib.com/cdsc/s800c/).

Set up Wi-Fi on the COOLPIX S800c: Follow these instructions: Circled is the Home button, which will bring you to the home screen when pressed. 1. Press the Home button on the camera.

2. Touch Settings.

3. Touch Wireless & Networks.

4. Touch Wi-Fi and check the box.

5. Touch Wi-Fi Settings.

6. The SSID or name of your Wi-Fi router will appear. Touch it to select it.

7. At this time, you will be asked for the security key or password. Enter it at this time.

8. Touch Connect.

You are now connected to the Internet and can browse the web, check your email, view content on YouTube™ or any of the other pre-installed apps on the COOLPIX S800c. If you’ve also created a new Gmail account, or logged in, you can also send emails, or download apps on Google Play to the camera such as Facebook or Twitter.

The camera will save the Wi-Fi settings, so whenever you are within reach of your home network, it will automatically connect for you.

You can also use a portable Wi-Fi router to connect to the internet. Instructions are the same as connecting to your home network.

Another option for internet connectivity is to use a public wireless LAN or hot spot. These may be available for free at restaurants or other local merchants; or for a connection fee at a hotel or other venues.

The instructions are the same as connecting to your home network. You simply follow additional instructions on the display screen that the internet service provider requires after making the connection.

Yet another way to connect to the internet is by connecting the COOLPIX S800c to an Android smartphone or tablet, or Apple® iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, by Wi-Fi tethering. To do so, you first need to download the Connect to S800c app onto your phone or tablet. It is available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch from iTunes® and on Google Play for Android smartphones and tablets.
